It's great pleasure to be announcing this call for the upcoming interdisciplinary, creative and hybrid conference on Arctic Knowledges!
🐋❄️🌎
The format of the conference is a combination of interactive roundtable discussions and active participation, with the aim of expressing and creatively discuss on interdisciplinary knowledges from and about the Arctic region.
We are aiming in an interdisciplinary group with backgrounds from Social Sciences, Art and Humanities, Physical Sciences with main interest the Arctic Region.

☕🍏🍰 [Coffee, snacks and lunch provided]
In favour of inspiring more creative discussions, we are not requesting submissions for posters and abstracts. Instead, we ask that participants submit an item or a component from your research that speaks to the Arctic uncertainties and knowledges that you encounter, navigate and produce through your work.

We are inviting responses in a range of media – poems, photographs, scientific equipment, graphs, data products, a word cloud, your favourite quote, you name it!
These can be physical items brought along to the workshop or submitted as a digital image in advance. You will not be asked to directly present on these (as you would for a poster or research talk, for example); rather these items and submissions will be used to guide the discussions during the morning session and will be printed to be used as part of the creative afternoon workshop session during the conference.
This conference is PGR organised and supported and funded by the Politics-State-Space research cluster in Durham's Geography and the Durham Center for Academic Development.
